WHAT IS NEW

   First Aminet release.
   FreeCiv version 1.7.0, Amiga compile version 1.0.
    
  
WHAT IS IT

   This is the Amiga compile of a FREEWARE Civilization II clone for
   Unix/X11. Since it has no special Amiga GUI, it needs an Xserver
   (like Xgeek/Geek Gadgets or AmiWin/Holger Kruse) and the Xpm library
   (included). If you haven't installed an Xserver yet, you should first
   get Xgeek or AmiWin and test and play around with it. Warning: this
   isn' sooo easy, but it's feasible, anyhow.


FEATURES

   - Multiplayer via TCP/IP
   - Soloplayer against computer controlled opponents
   - completely configurable (map size, resources, enemies, ...)
   - ...
     (see README for a whole bunch of other features)


FILES

   Needed files:

      FreeCiv1.7-020.lha  OR  FreeCiv1.7-040.lha
      FreeCiv1.7-dat.lha
      FreeCiv1.7-xpm.lha

      FreeCiv1.7-src.lha (only needed for recompile)

      (from Aminet, e.g. ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/systems/amiga/aminet/)


   Additionally needed files when using AmiWin (registered):

      X-11R6.3-ixlib-bin.tgz

      (from Geek Gadgets, e.g. http://www.ninemoons.com/ or on CD (!!) )


   Additionally needed files when using AmiWin (unregistered):

      X-11R6.3-ixlib-bin.tgz
      X-11R6.3-fonts-bin.tgz

      (from Geek Gadgets, e.g. http://www.ninemoons.com/ or on CD (!!) )

   NOTE: '.tgz' means '.tar.gz'! So you maybe need a GUNZIP tool to unpack
         the file(s) - this creates a '.tar' file - and a TAR tool to
         list/extract the files inside of the '.tar' file !! These tools
         are available from Aminet, too.
